}}Satartia is a village in Yazoo County, Mississippi. The population was 68 as of the 2000 census. It is Mississippi's smallest incorporated municipality by population.[3]

Located on the east bank of the Yazoo River, Satartia was once a thriving river port, and is one of the oldest non-Native settlements in Yazoo County.[4]

History

Satartia is a Choctaw word meaning "pumpkin place",[5] likely due to the small gourds that grow in the area. In the early 1800s, Satartia was a busy shipping point from which cotton was transported by steamboat to New Orleans along the Yazoo River.[4]

During the Civil War, General Grant sailed a gunboat from Vicksburg and captured the village; the Wilson House on Plum Street was used as his headquarters during the occupation.[4] The war also produced the "Satartia Rifles", a well-regarded Confederate regiment and recruitment group.[6]

Currently there is one small country grocery store and a cotton processing gin in Satartia. The Emmaus (Christian) Retreat Center is located at the nearby No Mistake Plantation.{{citation needed|date=October 2017}}
